Finding Outfor Himself
By Jimes
Some children lean by asking
questions; others learn by original
investigation. The latter learn more
rapidly and remember longer what
they have learned. . i
We have just been entertaining
oneof the investigating kind. His
mother left him over here while she
went to a bridge pty. '"x
"Don't try to amuse him at ill."
she said, as she kissed him goodby.
"He is wonderful at finding things
to do. He can entertain himself
with anything at all."
We soon found that she had not
overestimated the capacity of her
child for self-entertainment. In fact,
it would have been impossible for
anyone to overestimate it, even the
most doting of mothers. -
We hunted up the earthly remains
of toys long since left idle by chil
dren who are now using college
freshmen for plajthing. There
were a few 'blocks, a decapitated
rocking horse, the wreck of a train
of ir6n cars. and sorne fragmentary
games. .' .
These we placed on the porch and,
set the young visitor down among
tffem. Then we went about V our
business.
Ten minutes later I heard 'the
same- kind of a sound you hear after
the comedv villain ft chased from
the stage by the comedy hero and
impinges on a comedy bay window
off stape. -
"Fearful lest the child had climbed
up on the window seat in the living
room ancl fallen through the glass,
I hurried down stairsri -
My fears for the child were quite
unnecessary. ' He was unruirt and
calm and business like. He had a
midiron over his shoulder which he
had found in a bag in the hall. He
had jsst found out that a midiron
properly directed would break one
kind of a window, and was in the act
of discovering 'whether it would
break another kind of a window.
I yelled at him as loud as I could
to attract his attention. He looked
at me with a cheerful smile and said:
"Look, see, junK"
It was useless tq try to stop biro.
He had made his second discovery
concerning the midiron before I
could reach him.
He seemed a little ruffled when I
took the club away from him. He
followed me- into the hall, watched
me solemnly while I replaced it in
the bag, and was about to accom
pany me upstairs to tmd out what I
was going to do with it. I made
him .understand that this was not
to be, and withput any manifesta
tion of displeasure he returned to, the
front porch..
somehow or other I couldn t work

But for half an hour t everything
was perfectly quiet, and I gradually
began to-forget him. x
Then the canary, which ought t

and confined in his gijded cage, came
hurrying into my room and perched
on one of the curtain poles. . His
feathers very ruffled, his voice was
shrill and complaining, and he was
evidently dissatisfied about some
thing. , ,
I went downstairs to see what had
annoyed him.-- The little guest was

There - isn't enough kissing in
Omaha.
So said a number of leading Oma
ha citizens on this subject ,
The chief of police, county offi
cials, the mayor, professional men,
all agree there should be more kiss
ing. , "
Don't misunderstand us. They
referred to "married kisses." Men
should kiss their wives more, they
say. Each man should kiss his own
wife more, y'understand, not some
other man's wife. No, no. i
An article in The Bee a few days
ago started tpe ' discussion, in it
Judge Thomas Graham of ban rran-
c.sco prescribed kisses in trequent
doses as a sure cure for the preva
lent disease, "divorcitis." '"v,
Certainly, a man should kiss his
wife just as often as possible." said
Mayor anuth. He doesn t need to
overdo -it. I don't think many of
them do that. But I don't believe a
hvtband and wife who kissiea h
other every day will ever have any
quarrels."
